  • Teaching a teenager about Crypto

    In this video , I introduce Joshua (16yo) to Crypto and some basic economic ideas. He is a complete newbie in the area so it was a great experience simplifying the explanations to key points to help him grasp the big picture.

    - What is Cryptocurrency?

    - Why is it relevant now?

    - What "Stimulus" is actually doing to your money?

    - My opinion on where Crypto is going what kind of returns to expect.

  • Being a Man

    To me, being a man at the highest level is someone who fully embodies living his purpose. Through the challenges and setbacks he's encountered in life, there's a peaceful, grounding and strength that anyone who comes in contact with him can sense and benefit from. There is tremendous pride and ego and even more humility and a vision for the impact he wishes to make in the world. Around him, feminine energy feels safe and inspired to fully blossom and masculine energy feels compelled to step up and expand. He is certain, at peace and compassionate.

  • What no one talks about in the fitness industry (my exercise "manifesto")

    Ever wonder why certain things just come easy for certain people? Why is it so easy for person A to attract wealth and wealth making opportunities? How come people just gravitate towards person B? Why is it that person C can firmly and gracefully establish her boundaries and have people honor them? This doesn't mean they don't work hard. However, there's an effortlessness and almost serendipitous quality to how it just happens. They are definitely not "trying".

    Is it because of their looks? Is it because they didn't have the childhood you had? Is it because they have good genetics? In this episode, I explore what's at play using exercise as the primary example.

    The goal is for you to become aware of blindspots. A blindspot is something that is "there" that you are not aware of. As soon as you become aware of it, everything transforms automatically without the need for you to "effort".

  • The Changing Media Narrative On Vaccines

    What is Gaslighting?

    The term originates in the systematic psychological manipulation of a victim by her husband in Patrick Hamilton’s 1938 stage play Gas Light, and the film adaptations released in 1940 and 1944. In the story, the husband attempts to convince his wife and others that she is insane by manipulating small elements of their environment and insisting that she is mistaken, remembering things incorrectly, or delusional when she points out these changes. The play’s title alludes to how the abusive husband slowly dims the gas lights in their home, while pretending nothing has changed, in an effort to make his wife doubt her own perceptions. The wife repeatedly asks her husband to confirm her perceptions about the dimming lights, but in defiance of reality, he keeps insisting that the lights are the same and instead it is she who is going insane.

    It's pretty straightforward what the phrase "Media Gaslighting" means. In this podcast, I talk about (and show) some blatant examples of the media (and government) changing their narrative. Even in 2020, we were getting a very different narrative on the vaccine for most of the year compared to what they are reporting now.

    Maybe you are not crazy after all.

  • Our society manufactures heroes and accomplishments (Sarah Fuller)

    On November 28th, Sarah Fuller made history by being the first woman to play in a Power 5 conference college football game. An accomplishment that on the surface should be celebrated and inspiring has turned into a controversial topic with widely varying opinions and takes. From the title of the podcast, my views on the situation should be pretty obvious. The goal of this podcast isn't to change anyone's mind. Instead, if you've already had similar thoughts as I've shared, just know that you are not alone.

    It's ok to have views that the mainstream media doesn't support.

    It's ok to determine for yourself what is authentic and truthful for you.

    It's ok to put yourself out there for that truth and be subject to criticism.

    Our society desperately needs to transform. "Be the change you wish to see in the world".

  • With Enough Energy, A Trauma Becomes A Gift

    I first met Joshua four years ago through the Big brother big sister program when he was 12 years old. He's definitely had his ups and downs, and his growth the past four years has been extraordinary. I was actually surprised when he told me he wanted to come on the podcast and talk about mental health since he's always been very shy on camera.

    You wouldn't know it by interacting with him, but he came from an extremely challenging childhood background (which he talks about in the podcast) and as a result even as a 12 year old kid he had great self awareness from his adopted mom getting him all kinds of help from therapy, to mentors to playing music instruments, sports, etc.

    He was very nervous at the beginning of the podcast but notice how the tone of his voice and mental clarity shifts as soon as we started talking about how he wants what we talk about to benefit people. "Find a bigger why". It sounds cliché, but we really do have access to a whole lot more energy when our attention shifts from moving away from what we don't want to the impact we want to make on people. With enough energy, a trauma becomes a gift.

  • Fear of getting cancelled

    Do you avoid doing/saying things you know is right (when needed) to avoid upsetting your family members or close friends? That's a sign of a challenge with personal confrontation.

    Do you have a strong physiological aversion to being on people's radar so they can give their opinion and feedback on you? That's a sign of a challenge with visibility.

    Most people don't like personal confrontation and being visible. When these things happen, we are no longer comfortable and fit in. It is literally a basic survival mechanism. Being visibility for visibility's sake is pointless. What we need is a bigger why.

    - Is it worth personal confrontation to protect your child?

    - Is it worth being visible be an example and give a voice to all the women who don't feel like they have a voice?

    - Is it worth it to stand up and call out the bullshit because you see a much more compelling vision for the world?

    Now more than ever, the world needs leaders who choose this responsibility. Instead of focusing on what you don't want......what do you actually want to see in the world?

  • When the scale says you are fat

    In what area of life do you measure yourself to a timeline? Where did this timeline come from? What does it mean if you are not meeting the expectations of the timeline? What emotions are present (guilt, shame, failure, abandonment)?

  • The illusion of voting and the two party system

    The first clip is Democratic Congresswomen Tulsi Gabbard talking about her experiences in Congress (for the record I would've voted for her if she was the Democratic candidate running against Trump this year).

    Watch the narrative in the media. Everything is about how one party is on the side of justice while the other party is impeding progress. For the people that buy into politics, we literally have a nation that thinks everything is the other party's fault and half the country is asleep/ignorant to support that party.

    - How clean/corrupt do you think the delegates/caucus system is that selects the candidates representing the party?

    - How likely is it that there's serving personal agendas, bribery and corruption at the expense of the country and its citizens?

    - Look up Tulsi Gabbard at the Democratic debate against Joe Biden and others late last year (or really any other time she has publicly spoken). Who do you feel is more honest and probably more capable of positively impacting the country? Why do we continually end up with the same mediocre, uninspiring and often times corrupt candidates that we get?

    - We've been voting every 4 (or 2) years. Is the system less broken or more broken now than it was 200 years ago?
